Yep, lazy and crazy! I heard those words more than once during the 7 years it took for me to get diagnosed.

Karen, I'd suggest that you take someone with you to an appointment, if this is feasible. It's helpful to have a 2nd set of ears, as well as someone to help you drive, as Annie has suggested.

I hope that you're able to get an appointment soon. If the appointment is scheduled a ways out, make sure you can get on a "cancellation list."
